Summary: table selection tool - semi-automatic dividers -
improvement (patch enclosed)
Product: okular
Version: unspecified
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: okular-devel@kde.org

implementation of the feature (depends on patch from bug #279859)
Version: unspecified
OS: Linux
The table selection tool as per bug #279859 requires the user to manually
indicate all the column and row dividers. However, in many situations it's
trivial for the tool to detect the rows and columns automatically. It can't get
it right every time, but it can get it right often and some of the remaining
times it can at least get close. As long as the automatically-detected column
and row dividers are easy to clear, they will save more time than they will
cost.
Usage: the Table Selection Tool is used as per bug #279859. However, when the
whole table is selected, automatic (dashed) row and column dividers appear.
While they are dashed, they can be cleared by pressing Esc. Otherwise usage is
unchanged — click near the edges of the table to add and remove row and column
dividers (the dashed ones become solid at this point). The table is
automatically copied to the clipboard after each change. When ready, paste into
another document (spreadsheet, word processor, etc). Press Esc to clear the
selection (twice if there are dashed dividers).
Implementation: dividers are placed in any place where they will not intersect
any letter and the gap is not zero-width. A special case is made for selections
spanning multiple pages to avoid placing dividers that cannot be seen.
Reproducible: Always
Actual Results:
The table selection tool as per bug #279859 requires the user to manually
indicate all the column and row dividers.
Expected Results:
The table selection tool takes a good guess at the column and row dividers,
allowing the user to clear them easily or adjust them when it gets them wrong.
This bug depends on bug #279859.
